School Activities

We provide a schools sustainability program at every store across Australia which involves visits and activities with local primary schools.

The program is aimed at increasing awareness of energy and water saving, recycling and highlights simple and easy ways to make a difference to the environment.

We are a long time supporter of National Schools Tree Day activities and this year we are partnering with Planet Ark to help schools plant native trees in their school yard or local community area.

Schools Tree Day is an opportunity for students to get active in their local community and learn about the importance of protecting trees and the natural environment.

We have supported Firestarter for the past three years and in 2011 we will continue to encourage kids to get involved with the environment through local projects and activities.

Firestarter run youth conference events where kids teach other kids about what they are doing in their school to make a difference to the environment. Our Team Members provide bird box building workshops at every event.

We will be working together with Firestarter in Victoria, Adelaide and Queensland in 2011.

We are supporting the Fundraising Group’s Green Up Clean Up initiative nationally in 2011. Green Up Clean Up facilitates fundraising opportunities for schools through a clean up of a local community or school area and a green up tree planting activity.

Green Up Clean Up provides a fundraising opportunity for local schools that has a long term environmental benefits for students and communities.
